Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 989: Progress

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Muyu did not wait for Chu Heng that night. She applied a thick layer of cream on her lips before going to bed.

Chu Heng came back late at night.

He smelled the alcohol on his body, got up, and took a shower before going to bed.

When he saw the woman leaning over, he hesitated for a moment. He was about to push her away, but instead, he hugged her.

Looking at her, he could only imagine how willing she was to trust him.

His originally stiff hand was placed on her waist and gently patted her. She had a good night’s sleep.

Ye Muyu noticed that Chu Heng was in a good mood in the morning.

However, because of Eunuch Ren’s arrival, Chu Heng became even busier, so she just let him focus on his work. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Heng often left early in the morning and returned late at night.

However, when he returned at night and talked to Ye Muyu, he was not as cold as before. He even allowed Ye Muyu to talk beside him without interrupting her.

It was Lu Chuan who noticed this obvious change.

He was originally worried that Chu Heng would go overboard with Ye Muyu after losing his memory, and even make her sad.

However, it seemed that the proactive Ye Muyu had once again captured Chu Heng’s liking in a short period of time. Since Chu Heng was happy, Lu Chuan’s usual days were much more relaxed and he could once again eat the food that Ye Muyu’s personally made.

Lu Chuan happily ate the food that he had brought with him. When he saw the envious eyes of many bailiffs beside him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He silently made a wish in his heart, ‘I hope that Master and Madam can be together for the rest of their lives.’ This way, he could have good meals and live a happy life.

Chu Heng finished his meal and habitually washed his bowl.

Eunuch Ren praised, “Mrs. Chu’s cooking skills are too good. I’ve heard that the Chu family’s food is good. Now it seems that it’s true.”

County Magistrate Qi also nodded silently. When he heard that Ye Muyu had made sour plum juice to sell, he did not take it to heart and thought that she was just playing around.

Now that he had tasted the delicious food, he was very sure that Ye Muyu knew how to cook and was especially good at it.

Not only that, the other party was only willing to send food to Chu Heng after Eunuch Ren arrived.

Although she also did it previously, she did not do it as often. Of course, it was also because they had to return to the county government office every day.

Now that they were confirming the specific construction, they had not returned to the county city for a long time.

Seeing that Eunuch Ren was eating happily, County Magistrate Qi could not help but praise the Chu Heng couple for their ability to win people’s hearts.

Fortunately, Chu Heng was indeed a practical person. If the flood was really solved, there would definitely be no problem with his assessment this year.

After five days of continuous work…

The county government began to hire people.

With Eunuch Ren around, the repair funds approved by the higher-ups in Yuzhou came especially quickly.

After gathering the manpower, the construction process quickly began.

This morning, the three of them were leaving the county government office, planning to go to the river to take a look.

They had stayed in Li County for a long time, so they needed to go to the county upstream of the river to continue investigating.

“What kind of food is sour plum juice? Why are there so much?” Why did Eunuch Ren have to follow them out? It was because he wanted to tell the Emperor about the outside world after he returned to the capital, especially about the commoners. The emperor loved to hear it the most. He did not dare to make up stories dryly. After all, the emperor had heard a lot, so he would naturally be able to tell the truth from lies.

“Ah, sour plum juice.” County Magistrate Qi had been so busy recently that he rarely paid attention to the county. When Eunuch Ren asked, he suddenly realized that there were indeed changes in the county.

The most obvious thing was that the number of stalls selling sour plum juice had increased.

“I remember that some time ago, Mrs. Chu brought people to sell in the county. Since when did everyone know how to make it?”
